Coupled with the recent declaration
OF the Count of Paris that he would
soon be King of France comes the
announcement that he and the Crown
Prince of Germany have been in con-
sultation. Bismark would no doubt
like to see the French republic over
thrown. The success of that republic
may lead the Germans also to want a
republic. A war with France, in
which the latter should be crushed,
would improve the prospects OF the
Count of Paris in his design to
overthrow the republic and re-
establish the monarchy. Republican
government in Europe would be dealt
a sever blow by the carrying out of
that design. If France could be
crushed BY war the job would be
easier. Bismark seems TO be getting
ready for such war.

WHY SHOULDN'T THEYs

The following is from the Chicago
Tribune under the head of News
Indeed
The Republicans of Kenton county,
KY, which includes the city of Gov
ington, Speaker Carlisle's home, las;
night endorsed the entire county ticket
OF lheUnited Labor party. This in
sures +he Ilefear of the Democrats.
Speaker Carlisle and other prominent
men have been summoned home to
take part in the Etate canvass, which
is assuming an arlarming aspect on
account of the activity of the Republi
cana and Labor men.
There is'a sub-head to this which
reads; Have the Republicans COM
bined with the United Labor Party?
The United Labor party is aiming
at dong something. II has as yet no
National organization and may never
have, end the different local organic
iations have not an entirely common
policy, but they are trying to do
something, and though many of their
doctrines are based on erroneous
apprehension of facts the members
OF the party are sincere in their desire
to do something. If the Republican
party of Kenton county has found
some worthy objects in the aims OF
the Labor party, and has found no
principles dangerous to society it has
done well in helping the men who
show their courage of opinion by try
ing to do something instead Of blindly
following a name and party leader,
Both parties must listen to the de-
mands of the people who are tired OF
hearing of what has been done, and
want 10 hear of what will be done.
Many of the theories of the Labor
party are untenable but al all events,
with the exception Of the inevitable
sprinkling OF demagogues who will
try TO lead them to excess, the mem
beers are good citizens with good
intentions, and it is pleasant to
see the old parties taking up active
Issues though possibly leaveued with
IA great deal of impracticability, in.
stead of both putting forth fossilized
resolutions arraigning each other and
asking for support on account of an
old injury and not in the name of a
future benefit :.
The great majority of the laboring
men of tho country have taken up
the American idea and both parties
will have TO adopt 1T or both parties
will be swamped BY the people who
want TO see something done and don't
want to be told to wait while sap
headed spnoters of meaningless phrases
spew out words conveying no ideas
but the name OF their party and their
willingness to take office.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.

The ruling of the Treasury Depart
ment that the contract act, passed by
Congress last February, applies to the
employment of foreigners living close
to the line either of Canada or Mexico
is unfavorably regarded by foreigners,
whose employment in the United
States Is thus made unlawful. Neither
Canadians nor Mexicans see why the
fact Of their living out of the United
States should effect their employment
within the United States. The EN-.
ployment of Mexicans as cigar max
ers in American factories is, however,
an illustration of the effect of the law,
which is easily understood. A cigar
of any given quality is worth about
twice as much on the American as on
the Mexican side. If the Mexican
lives and works in Mexico, the cigars
he may make must pay the American
duty. Ii he comes over in the morn
ing, works in an American factory,
and goes back In the evening his
cigars are relieved from duty. They
are American cigars to the extent
that they are subject to the internal
revenue tax in place of the tariff, too.
1t is but just, therefore. that the for.
eigners living close to the line should
be placed upon the same footing in
The matter of employment in the
United States as those living at a dis
lance.-S. r. Can
